CLP Blog Tours Book Review: Meeting Miss Mollie by Di …

Di Jones is now on tour with CLP Blog Tours and Meeting Miss Mollie
Summary:
She’s the Agony Aunt who has it all. Except for one small problem – her life is a disaster.

Annabelle is a hard nosed writer with a good marriage, a nice flat, a thriving career at Adorn magazine and a busy social life. She has only one ambition – to be the best known Agony Aunt in the UK.

When her world is turned upside down by her husband’s infidelity she strikes out on her own and goes flatting with a jet setting businessman. But things in her new house aren’t quite what they seem and her problems mount.

Through her ups and downs, Annabelle forges a relationship with the strangest of friends and discovers the best things in life are those she always avoided.

Meeting Miss Mollie is a story about lies, loss, loyalty, love and laughter, and will appeal to anyone who loves chicklit or romantic comedy. You’ll laugh as you read this book, and perhaps even shed a tear.
Review:
I have also read Transplanting Holly Oakwood by Jones and thought it was a delightful chick lit read. I was looking forward to reading Meeting Miss Mollie, and once again, thought it was fun chick lit book. Jones writes with humor, wit, spark, and I loved that we got a POV from Mollie – a dog! I thought that was a little different, and her chapters were cracking me up. Sometimes I didn’t understand the romance angle, it was like it kept coming out of the blue, and Annabelle seemed to get over her fear of dogs a bit too suddenly. But I liked Annabelle as a character, she was easy to relate to especially when it came to her failed marriage, and I did enjoy reading. I would recommend Di Jones to chick lit fans!

CLP Blog Tours Book Review: Transplanting Holly Oakwood by Di …

Di Jones is now on tour with CLP Blog Tours and Transplanting Holly Oakwood. When Holly finds her boyfriend in bed with her best friend, her world comes crashing down. Not sure where to turn or who to trust, she flees from London to Los Angeles to work for a great job – a Consulate – and tries to forget the betrayal. But life in LA proves no easier than what she left behind. Her boss Brittany is a snob, her body type is nowhere near the norm, and she struggles with homesickness as loneliness envelopes her. The only thing that seems to get her by is her new friendships – and a possible love interest. But can Holly really move on from her life in London and find happiness in LA?
Transplanting Holly Oakwood is a true chick lit book, and so much fun to read. Poor Holly can’t seem to cut a break wherever she is – London, LA, doesn’t matter! I could really feel for her and how she seemed not to fit in. And her boss Brittany – what a B word! It was fun that we were able to get POV’s from other characters, including the famed Brittany, and I thought that really added a lot to the story. I loved the romance because I didn’t know which man was going to win in the end – and Holly had three possible suitors along the way, if you count her douche-canoe of an ex. Holly got into so many comical – and frustrating – situations, but I was happy with her ending and I highly enjoyed this novel. One for chick lit readers!

She’s the Agony Aunt who has it all. Except for one small problem – her life is a disaster.

Annabelle is a hard-nosed writer with a good marriage, a nice flat, a thriving career at Adorn magazine and a busy social life. She has only one ambition – to be the best known Agony Aunt in the UK.

When her world is turned upside down by her husband’s infidelity she strikes out on her own and goes flatting with a jet-setting businessman. But things in her new house aren’t quite what they seem and her problems mount.

Through her ups and downs, Annabelle forges a relationship with the strangest of friends and discovers the best things in life are those she always avoided.

About Di

Born in Liverpool, I started my working life as a librarian, and have worked in a variety of jobs since, but none were as much fun as the one that allowed me to write and get paid for it. That was a few years ago, and each year it’s become more and more apparent what I want to do is write full time, a dream that first occurred to me at seventeen.

Like my characters, I love my family and friends, beautiful shoes, anything sparkly, the ‘occasional’ drink, parties, and a good belly laugh. I’m addicted to shopping, chocolate, bubble bath and anything else that smells nice, and the sort of TV programmes you’d never publicly admit to watching.

I’ve lived in England, Canada, the Unites States, but now call New Zealand home. I live in a lovingly renovated home overlooking Auckland’s beautiful Waitemata Harbour, with my trusted friends Bronson Boxer and Dolce Dane. They keep me fit and exercised, scare the burglars away, sit loyally by my side throughout my late night writing sessions, and hang on my every word when I read final drafts aloud. They truly are my biggest fans, and I theirs!

I love my life, but not so much that there’s not room to live a load of other lives, through the hearts and minds of my characters, all of whom I adore, and some of whom I’m fortunate enough to call friend.

Finding her lover in bed with her best friend was the worst thing ever, but leaving London for Los Angeles pushed trouble to a whole new level.

Holly Oakwood’s cosy life is shattered when her boyfriend has an affair with her best friend. Determined to mend her broken heart by throwing herself into her career, but unable to hide her contempt for her new boss, she loses her job as well.

She lands a dream job in a Consulate in LA, but that’s when her troubles really begin. She struggles to settle, loneliness begins to bite, and everyone around her is thin and shallow. She loses her confidence, makes a fool of herself once too often, and her new boss hates her. Can she salvage anything from the train wreck of her new life, or should she return to England?

What ensues is a comically entertaining series of events that catapult Holly into new friendships, the promise of romance and the realization that home is where the heart is.
